A/N: This fic is entirely based on my thoughts. I haven't watched all the episodes of Inuyasha so don't sue me. This is for Abigael, my friend who's obsessed with Inuyasha. Hope you like it!
Jealous
by Koharu Mitsuki
I was always jealous of Kikyo. I find it ironic, honestly. I'm her reincarnation, which means we're almost alike. 'So why envy her?' My inner thoughts always ask. 'Because she got Inuyasha's love' My heart answers. True. I was never the type who gets jealous of something I don't have, well, until I met her. She's infuriatingly perfect. A picture of poise, good breeding and decorum, she was everything I wasn't as her reincarnation. Although she's the living dead who eats souls to live, and though she was the one who causes Inuyasha grief and hatred, I know he still loves her. Kikyo is his first love, after all. And the first love always finds a way through the deepest of the heart. I should know, I've felt it already. It's the aching feeling in my chest when I see him with her. It's also the same feeling that's been eating me up inside. And the part I hate most is that I can't do anything about it.
I know he thinks of her often, and that's a reason to hate her. Especially when she's close by, and he'll try and look for her. I'm jealous when I think of the possible times when Inuyasha would give Kikyo his reserved smiles, those gentle smiles that he rarely shows. And that's another reason to hate her. But then, I realized that the worst part that hurts me most is that I shouldn't hate nor be jealous of Kikyo, since Inuyasha and I are merely friends and since companionship is our only relation to each other, I couldn't. Though I love him, I just couldn't. Damn.
